"Don't let a constitutional convention wipe out the 2nd Amendment"

Mark, did you ever in your wildest dreams imagine that you would one day be writing in favor of the 2nd Amendment?

That's just one of many such ideas whose time I never thought would come, but now it has

Now we know why the framers were wise enough to include it.

Australia has been a potent reminder that the right to bear arms is a powerful hedge against unbridled tyrrany. People who try to associate the 2nd Amendment with Slavery, and White Supremacy - haven't considered the history and experience of Scotland, as a conquered land, where the English allowed only themselves to be armed. If anyone needs a reminder about the history of this, rewatch "Braveheart". That's why the swords were hidden in the thatch of the cottages.

What about the 2nd amendment is against personal rights?

There's laws on the books to prosecute criminals who use guns.

Outlawing them is not really leftist.

If you watch Mark's interview at Perspectives on the Pandemic, he admits to finally understanding the value of the 2nd Amendment.

I think if leftists would walk a mile in Mark's shoes, they'd become pro-2A.

I have all three episodes mirrored here:

If we understand that we are in a carefully crafted psychological operation, with clever twists and turns and continuous mis-direction, doesn't it seem either possible or likely that talk of a Constitutional Convention is yet another distraction designed to syphon attention from the real crimes being committed under our noses? And, as Catherine Austin Fitts puts it so well, cryptos are the thieves's way of suckering us into believing our money is safe. Clearly, given what we've seen in Canada, that could not be further from the truth. Last, given that we know by now that a significant percentage of career politicians, from both parties, are so thoroughly corrupt that they won't stand up against this medical tyranny, isn't it likely that convening a convention will be the same as allowing the wolves into the henhouse? Would our Bill of Rights even have a chance of survival if "they" got their hands on it? We need to quash the idea of a Constitutional Convention and, like Mr. Miller and Ms. Fitts state, enforce the Constitution that we have.

This is terrifying. The Constitution is the only thing standing between America and pure totalitarianism.

I’ll add my PSA here: stay away, stay far, far away from crypto, unless you’re willing to lose your whole bet with no recourse, or unless the words “do you feel lucky?” resonate with you.

Crypto bets rely on the “greater fool” theory to pay off.

Cyptocurrencies are unregulated, not assets, not hedges, not efficient as a money instrument - too expensive too slow and too volatile, a net drag on society, a terrible waste of energy, essentially gambling and an open Ponzi scheme.

They are good for storing the money from which you are willing to be parted.

Don’t take my word for it.

Read the book by Bob Seeman and economist Roger Svensson, “Bitcoin: Unlicensed Gambling”

I don't know much about digital currencies but don't they require electrical power and hence have a carbon footprint as they like to call it?

I suspect the grid is being sabotaged with green energy so how will people buy and sell during blackouts using digital $ and no way to charge cell phone?

Kind of like Gates dimming the sun and saying solar power is the solution.

Going to make CBDCs pretty useless as well if so.

I agree! Trouble is many people jumping on the band wagon for COS.

Mark Meckler, President of the so-called Convention of "States" Project; has promised us for years that if Congress calls an Article V Convention, we WILL get amendments which "rein in the power and jurisdiction of the federal government". And they have RIDICULED the warnings of opponents that if Congress calls an Article V Convention, we will get a new Constitution - and since it will have its own new mode of ratification, it is certain to be imposed.

I have been fighting the push for an Article V Convention for some 10 years. On November 8, 2021, Mark Meckler told some Pennsylvania Legislators that "Robbie George" of Princeton is on Meckler's "COS" Legal Advisory Board.

"Robbie George" is Robert P. George, and he has already co-authored a NEW Constitution which grants massive NEW powers to the NEW federal government and imposes gun control with red flag confiscations - written right into the NEW Constitution!

Please see this paper: - which sets forth the Proof of the above: https://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/2021/12/18/mark-mecklers-cos-board-member-has-drafted-new-constitution-which-imposes-gun-control/

The convention pushers are already claiming to have 33 States with active applications on file with Congress for Congress to call an Article V Convention.

Please permit this to be posted. I am heavily censored - because those pushing for a convention control the fake "conservative" media.

thank you,

Joanna Martin, J.D.

Hey Mark, with ‘hundreds of paid subscribers’, as the intro page says, and very logical, common-sense statements that you and other ‘hundreds of paid subscribers’ make, why do you think it makes no difference? No dent in the official narrative? Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds should eventually lead to some political power, no? Or are we relegated to the academic world altogether, where ideas amount to nothing, unless funding magically transmorphs them into public health directives. Are we all corrupt without knowing, or do we just go along knowing we have no power anyway? Are we the intellectuals of Romania, chechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland etc in the 1956’s or who?

There's a huge divide between the likes of us and the state/corporate/media colossus. They can't and won't acknowledge anything we say, because they're totally committed to the lies they tell. I don't think it means that WE'RE corrupt.

There have been two years, years(!) of immense lies. What will follow after so much deceit? Nothing but a wasteland of the numb minds. I look in my library, all I get is blank stares from everyone who sees it. Someone came the other day and said: “I like books, we should get some. I’m just not sure witch kinds to get”.

But we can be Cioran, Țuțea, Riskard, except this time there is no other free place to emigrate.And we are corrupted by the little lies we have to indulge in every day, do we not?

Adherence to the Constitution has declined precipitously in a series of step functions from Wilson’s Progressive agenda, FDR’s alphabet soup revolution, Johnson’s Great Society, Bush’s Patriot Act surveillance state, and now Biden’s Covid fascism. Think any of this will be reversed short of a national divorce?

The current federal debt is supposed to be $30 trillion but the real debt (according to a professor who worked with CAF) is over $100 trillion! This link also mentions the missing $21 trillion.

Why would a Convention of States affect the 2nd amendment? My understanding of that they aim for Congressional Term Limits and a Balanced Budget.

Loving Mom: see my comment above. The "COS" Legal Advisory Board member has already co-authored a new Constitution which grants massive new powers to a new federal government and grants to it massive new powers; AND imposes gun control with red flag gun confiscations. It's a Bait & Switch con game.
